When we got to Hogwarts I sat next to Hermione with Harry, Ron and Emma across from us we knew Emma from last year and although Ron never admitted it he definitely liked her.

"Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Now, I'd like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled by our excellent feast. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor R.J. Lupin who's kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Good luck, professor," Dumbeldore said.

"Of course. That's why he knew to give you the chocolate, Harry," Hermione said.

"Potter. Is it true you fainted? I mean, you actually fainted?" Malfoy said another Slytherin fake fainting to mock him.

"Shove off, Malfoy," Ron said turning Harry back around.

"How did he find out?" Harry said defeated.

"Just forget it," I said.

"Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs. Fortunately, I'm delighted to announce that his place will be taken by none other than our own Rubeus Hagrid," Dumbledore said and we all clapped.

"Finally, on a more disquieting note at the request of the Ministry of Magic Hogwarts will, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban until such a time as Sirius Black is captured. The dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. Now whilst I've been assured that their presence will not disrupt our day-to-day activities word of caution. Dementors are vicious creatures. They'll not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore, I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It is not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light," Dumbeldore said.

After that me and Hermione shared a look of questioning concern before we realise we were staring at each other and looked away.

After Feast

"Fortuna Major. Here, listen. She just won't let me in," Seamus said we got to the door to the Gryffindor common room.

"Fortuna Major," I said louder to get her attention.

"No, no. Wait, wait. Watch this," The fat lady says.

She then sings trying to smash the glass in her hand but nothing happens causing her to scream and still nothing so she hits it against the wall and it shatters.

"Amazing. Just with my voice," She said.

"Fortuna Major," I said now annoyed.

"Yes, all right. Go in," She said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Still doing that after three years," Harry said as we all enter the dorm.

I sit down with Hermione by the fire as all the others settle back into their rooms to catch up with their friends but the two of us prefer to study. I brought out the book we had on the train and Hermione smiled as I opened it up back to the page we were on and began reading. Later we say goodnight to one another but before I can enter my drom Hermione pulls me back and kissed my cheek making me blush. 

"Goodnight," Hermione said before I walk back into the room and see the guys are all messing around with voice-changing jelly beans so I join in.

"Green. That's a monkey," Deen said throwing a green one to Seamus.

"Hey, Neville, try an elephant," I say and Neville soon began to make elephant noises.

"Ron, catch," Deen said and Ron began to roar like a lion.

"Oh, don't try one of them. Oh, no," I say as Harry grabs a black one.

"Look at him. His face," Seamus laughed as steam burst from Harry's ears.
